return to the farm field "hot spot", NY dirt is CRUEL

[port ewen ace]

all 200+ acres have been ripped & disc-ed to 8 inches. planting starts in a few days. site super was thrilled to see our finds. Fmerg bagged a 1727 Reale, plus he got a silver Rosie too darn new for my taste . my finds were more roundballs, 3 MLF bird bands, pewter crotal bell, Tombac with a chip, scalloped flat button, & 2 more Brit coppers . 1 st pic is the US LC rev, from the ribbon it appears to be pre- 1808. 2nd, 3rd, & 4th are unknown and all were flipped in coin orientation. peroxide, baking soda, electrolysis and these are the final results---. NY dirt sucks

I will agree with you Was this area used for crops?

A very nice productive hunt! I hate what farm fields do to the old copper coins.

Those fertilized fields really do a number to the coppers. it's not just NY, it's everywhere! :P congrats on the coins anyway, they have enough detail to be ID'd so they are wonderful!
